Ultimate Level Measurement Solutions
The RS485 Resistive Tank Level Sensors by OleumTech® are part of the H Series line of high quality instruments that deliver unrivaled performance, reliability, and accuracy in hazardous locations as well as under harsh, extreme environmental conditions.
With over two decades of innovation and manufacturing expertise, OleumTech’s Resistive Level Sensors are the company’s flagship level monitoring solution that offers industry-leading 5-in-1 monitoring capabilities: product (oil), interface (water), the temperature, along with two discrete inputs for connecting to dry contact sources. The HW-RL3-LCD also has the ability to calculate and report volume and tank full percentage data.
OleumTech’s patented Resistive Level Sensors are offered in both flexible (PTFE) and rigid (316 SS) materials in various lengths.
Reliable, Scalable, and Safe
The H Series ultra-high-performance level gauging solution can communicate with any Modbus master device via RS485 Serial connection. The low-power Resistive Level Sensors can be multi-dropped up to 16 sensors. The Resistive Level Sensors are certified for use in Class I, Division 1 (Zone 0) hazardous locations and are Intrinsically Safe, making them one of the safest products in the world.
Contact your OleumTech representative to learn more about its high performance automation solutions.
Do Much More with Less
The OleumTech Resistive Level Sensor give you the ability to continuously measure product (oil), interface (water), and temperature and monitor two discrete inputs from a single instrument, eliminating the need for multiple sensors and multiple tank ports.
No Wiring Hassle
Every Resistive Level Sensor is equipped with a quick connect fitting that joins the sensor to its head without any wires for ultrafast installs and gives ability to program on or off the tanks.
Installs in Minutes
The flexible (PTFE) level sensor is only 20 inches in diameter when coiled making extremely easy to transport. Deployment cost and time can be significantly reduced by enabling just one person to perform the entire installation.
High Scalability
Up to 16 of these low-power level sensing instruments can be multi-dropped using a single power supply. There are multiple 3/4-inch NPT ports available on the sensor head to help you run conduit and wire with ease.
Great Peace of Mind
The OleumTech Resistive Level Sensors are Intrinsically Safe and are certified for use in Class I, Division 1 (Zone 0) hazardous locations, providing the highest level of safety under rigorous, extreme outdoor conditions.
Easy-to-Use Local Display
Easily configure the device using the local display user interface. The LCD remains always on with auto-scroll convenience for quickly capturing and reading day on site.
Rigid - 316 Stainless Steel
Resistive Level Sensors are available with the rigid 316SS option, ranging from 2 to 21 ft in lengths with multiple float options. The rigid sensor comes equipped with a 3/4-inch NPT 1-inch NPT height adjustable compression fitting.
Flexible - PTFE
The liquid level probes can be ordered with the flexible (Polytetrafluoroethylene) option, ranging from 8 to 38 ft in lengths with multiple float options. This sensor provides a 1-inch NPT height adjustable compression fitting.
Choice is Yours
You can take advantage of the 1/4-inch resolution version of the sensor with ±1/8-inch accuracy or take a more cost-effective approach by using the 1/2-inch resolution version that provides ±1/4-inch accuracy.
